not so much dying, and the thought of death (this isn't about death at all), but getting to the stage where you feel a lot older than you are?- body failing, memory going etc- and not being able to do the things you used to do?
it's a big thing for me. I'm young still, but can't help feel that a bit of me is going day by day- memory, body control, alertness, and I just think back... remember when I was like this, this, this, what ever?
what about you

I am considered old: 71 years old. It is discouraging to have daily lapses of memory, lack of strength, all all the physical issues. I've battled depression all my life. I can reflect on the past good times, my two sons, my two grand-kids. I've been fortunate to have accomplished many things in my life, but overcoming depression is NOT one of them.
I'm not afraid of dying, we all will in time.
Thank you for listening to me.
